Pretty soon the lunch bell rang and students poured into the cafeteria. Cloe brought her own lunch from home. As she entered the cafeteria, she noticed Rachael hiding behind a trash can near the door. Cloe walked over to it. "How much do you want to charge me for dumping garbage on private property?" Cloe joked to Rachael who looked up.
"Very angelic of you, Angel." Rachael said sarcastically. "Seriously, Squeaks, what's going on?" Coe asked, "Didn't you buy your lunch…or bring one?" "No, but I'm starving." Rachael said and stood up. "I'll give you half my sandwich." Cloe offered. "Oh, thanks. You're such an angel." Rachael thanked and gave Cloe a hug. "That's what they call me." Cloe responded, "Lets find a seat."
The two walked farther into the cafeteria. "Over here." A very familiar voice called distinctively to them. They looked at each other and said, "Ryan." They sighed and looked up to the seats overlooking the cafeteria. Ryan was waving at them. "Ooh. And he got us nice seats, too." Rachael cooed. "And don't worry, I'll protect you from Sharpay." Cloe teased. "Never doubted it for a minute." Rachael reassured. "Good." Cloe responded, "Lets go take our seats.
The girls walked over to the stairs used to get to the higher seats and climbed them. When they reached the top, they saw Ryan at the table a bit worried. "All right." Rachael laughed nervously, "Something's wrong." "Lets hurry." Cloe insisted. They ran over to where Ryan was sitting. "What's wrong?" Cloe asked. "Did something happen?" Rachael questioned as the girls sat down.
"No, everything's fine." Ryan reassured, but I think I can help get you guys to fit in so Sharpay will leave you alone." "Tell me!" Rachael demanded. "Calm down, Squeaks." Cloe insisted, "Go on." "You see," Ryan began, "all you have to do is join a club that will allow you to sit with the people you want to be with."
"Oh, you mean join a clique." Cloe rolled her eyes as she said this. "We don't want to join the cliques." Rachael said. "I know. But it would be only temporary." Ryan reassured. "Well, you see. Doing that would give Sharpay complete control over the entire school." Cloe pointed out. "Then, join a club you want to be in." Ryan persuaded, "Then we'll all win."
The girls looked at each other briefly. "We'll have to think about it." they said. "Promise?" he asked them. "We make no promises." Rachael laughed. "You may take that as a promise." Cloe stated. "You two must think you're so funny." Ryan said and began to eat his lunch. Cloe took out her Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich and gave half to Rachael. "Hilarious." they both stated.
(A/N) This is a really short chapter. I'm sorry for that, but I I'm kind of new at this and had trouble breaking up this fic into chapters. I promise that I will try to make them much longer. R&R!
